It's a real shame sometimes that MP's need to direct their questions and comments to the chair. I'd very much have enjoyed this fellow being able to call James Cleverly a word removed to his face in the chamber.

He's clearly livid. He's visibly shaking.

Could do with a bunch of the top lads from the local comp meeting these posh clearings in the woods outside the gates and filling them in.

J-Hunz says that if you haven't found a job in eighteen months of claiming, then you'll be sent on a mandatory work placement to improve your skills.

Which companies is it exactly that are going to be thinking that this sounds like the perfect opportunity to meet the demands of their business?

Amazon warehouses and the place where they chop up chickens into bits so they can be sent to the breadcrumb factory.

Still no option for the Conference League badge online. Annoying

I believe Subside Sports sell it.

Even minor differences between chemical compounds can have drastically different results.  Or even other ingredients used in the manufacturing process.

There was a drug called ranitidine first used in the 70s, and continued to be a very common h2 receptor antagonist prescribed right up until 2019 when it was removed from the market due to safety concerns with a component being carcinogenic.

You're absolutely right, of course, but one of the big factors to be often overlooked is that the examples given are almost always medications (like Ranitidine) rather than immunisations. To the best of my knowledge, only one vaccine has ever had long-term side effects (and I can't remember the name right now - sorry!) and that, again from memory, was over 100 years ago.

When the Covid vaccines were rolled out the most common argument related to Thalidomide, but that was a treatment for morning sickness and not a vaccine.

Oh and by the way although the vaccines weren’t fully effective they did a great job and was certainly a break through in terms of what we can come up with in a short space of time. 

I guess that depends on what constitutes "fully effective". It certainly didn't completely prevent everyone from getting it, but it definitely reduced the symptoms and the spread.

That's the thing with vaccines - it's hard to say exactly how effective they've been for an individual because you don't know if they've been exposed to the virus or how they would've managed without the jab.

The best description I heard at the time was that the Covid vaccine is like a bulletproof vest - it doesn't stop you from getting shot, but it massively increases your chances of survival.

Trouble is, there will be plenty of people, and some of them on this very board, that won’t be able to see it’s a tax cut for rich tory voters.

They’ll be told it’s a tax cut, small print will be its for people inheriting a £400,000 house and means less tax revenue for spending on schools or libraries, and they’ll some how do the magic thinking that it benefits them or their children.

People just hear tax cut and start touching themselves.

Plus yer average punter in this country would think the threshold on inheritance tax is way lower than the reality.

Was there a lot of people impersonating you so you felt the need to clarify who the real Rob Warner was?

In a word, yes

I've had the flu recently, I could kill a old geezer with that, so I'm  with @Rugeley Villa no more vaccines for me unless it gets serious again, although i only ever had 1 anyway, an dont think ive ever had Covid, no positive tests anyway.

I'm confused. Does that mean you don't want a flu vaccine so you can kill old men?

Happy birthday!

The more I think about this bringing Cameron back into the fold the less sense it makes.

Particularly as he's a Remoaner.

Another step towards him becoming the heir to Rio Ferdinand's throne. Albeit not a bell end, though.

And the best thing of all from Sunak's perspective is that everyone is talking about Cameron, which yer average voter won't be interested in, rather than the overt display of Government-inspired fascism we saw in London on Saturday.

Citeh winning 3-2. Should have been a Chelsea free kick at the other end of the field.

Waste of time playing against these words removed, you've got no chance.

Almost like a new signing? 

Once he finds his form he will be

Looks a far better player than what we paid for him. Like a new signing.

It seems like he completely lost his bearings because that might be the worst miss I've ever seen from a Villa player.

Worked his socks off and scored AGAIN though.

Like a new signing.

I have an ASUS RT-AX82U router that I'm pleased with, but living in an old house with thick walls, the wifi can be patchy in the far corners - particularly as the router itself is tucked away in a corner owing to the master socket location.

I have a mesh system set up via a 6 or 7-year-old BT Whole Home pack of 3 discs.

This ASUS thing supports AiMesh, so I think that would be the right move. I have a laptop and Series X in my office, the kids are usually streaming on at least one device each.

Any tips or advice on what I should buy?

Small query.

When the police statement says largely made up of football hooligans, does it mean they know for a fact they were football hooligans or is it more of a descriptive turn of phrase?

Not that it makes much of a difference, but just wondering. I guess I’m thinking that a Millwall* supporter who had never committed any football related hooliganism previously but went on the march today and caused problems might therefore be considered a football hooligan because he happened to be wearing his teams scarf.

It’s something of a nitpicky query by me, but just wondering if the police would have identified certain individuals or something.

*Millwall used as an example, hooliganism available from other football clubs

The police have a vast database of "faces" and have spotters at big events like this. I'd anticipate the "football hooligans" thing is fairly well qualified.

Looking at my photos, it looks like everyone was on Guinness!  Think @OutByEaster?and his mate (Simon?) whose username I’ve forgotten was there too.

Wasn't he called SitDownPotatoHead?

I met him with Scott outside the Holte once.
